CeCe: yeah, that and a sound effects guy. Enjoy! Oh I DON'T own YuYu H.
***---------------------------------------------------------***
Midnite touched down gracefully. Aaliyah jumped off, grabbed the bag and her boomerang and they walked forward to the giant palace. Upon coming to the door they were meet by a girl with light blue hair and pink eyes.
"Hello, we've been waiting for you" the girl, Botan, tuned and opened the doors. They walked down the large hallway for what seemed like ½ hour, but soon came to their destination. Botan stepped forward and opened the doors.
"Koenma, here he is"
"What makes you so sure I'm a 'he'" she said stepping into the room
"ummmm..."
"Yeah, well guess what I'm not a male..." she pulled her hood down
"I'm a FEMALE" she finished
"THAAAAANK YOOOOOU BOTAN!" Koenma smiled taking in her features. Her eyes were now a dark blue that seemed to search your soul. And her pupils, instead of round ones, were exactly like a cats, that rounded diamond shape. She had jet black hair with little streams of blue throughout it that was pulled back in a braid with a gold ring at the end. She had bangs that dared to fall past her eyes and two strands of hair in front of her ears that hung to her waist, curling slightly at the end. She beared two furry black ears with white tips semi atop her head and a matching tail.
"Here are the objects I stole Koenma-sama, the Shadow Sword and the Forlorn Hope" she placed the bag she'd been carrying on his desk. He just stared at her and took the bag. He opened the bag and took the items out thinking 'Yeah! my dad's not gonna kill me!'.
"We'll I'll catch you later. I've gotta be goin'" Aaliyah turned in her hill an walked to the door, only to be stopped.
"Wait! Were do you think your going?!"
"Huh?" she turned
"I'm sorry but we're not done"
"I gave back the items what else is there?"
"Well, you STOLE the sword and mirror, so..." Koenma trailed off
"so?" she asked her pupils shrinking in size and not cause of the light.
"Um, I'm afraid that you'll have to serve an appropriate punishment"
"what?" Aaliyah asked not really believing what he said
"Yes, you'll have to serve an appropriate punishment" he repeated
"Well, what is it?" she asked thinking 'it can't be that bad...I did bring them back'
"600 years in prison."
"What?!" she screamed jumping on to his desk and staring him in the face.
"Yes, 600 years. I'm so sorry!" he backed as far as he could go in his chair, she could be quite scary, despite her looks
"Damn it! Knowing me, I'd die in there, in that little cell... there has ta be another option..." she was worried, very worried
"I don't think so, not with your record" he looked to huge pile of papers on his desk and sighed. 'Whoa, I did that? Wow...' she thought looking at the papers
"yes, you did" ignoring his mind reading, and answer, she continued,
"there has ta be another way... a trade or deal, perhaps?" she asked hopping for a yes.
"Hmmmm, with your skill, maybe..." Koenma had a thoughtful look on his face
***------------------------------------------------------***
The group of four finally made it to the palace. Yusuke once again reached into his pocket and grabbed the mirror, opening it up.
"Hey Botan let us in" Yusuke said after seeing her face
"...Ok the door should be opening, I'll meet you half way" she hung up and Yusuke snorted that was what, the 3rd or 4th time today he was hung up on. They looked up upon hearing the door open, by itself. They walked in right as the door was closing and started on the long hall. After quite sometime they meet up with Botan and were now coming into view with Koenma's office door. After walking across the busy room, they made it to Keonma's door, Botan opening it.
"Um Koenma? The boys are here" she stepped a side as they entered. They all saw a cloaked figure sitting on the end of Koenma's desk.
"Ok were is he and who is this?" Yusuke asked
"Uh Yusuke, I think 'he'd' be offended by that" Koenma spoke up
"and 'he' *pointing* is the one your looking for" Koenma answered
"him?! what is he doing just sitting there?" Yusuke asked. The figure sighed.
"Why does everyone think I'm a male around here?" she stood
"I sure as hell don't, Botan said it" Koenma answered with a very big smile.
"Koenma!" Botan pouted and sighed 'why'd I get stuck with this job?'
"It's starting to piss me off. What exactly states I'ma male? Well I'm not" She pulled off her cloak completely this time, somehow not taking her boomerang off. Everyone in the room gasped except for Koenma and Botan.
"I'm a female" she said with a smirk, in her regular voice which was a little higher but not like Keiko's small voice. She had a body that would put any human girl to shame and would defiantly get a male's attention no matter what, like now. Her skin was a soft light
chocolate brown. She had a small waist line and flat stomach, long legs and wide hips that were clad in black tight pants that nicely showed off her bootylicious butt. She wore a tight blue tank-top that showed just enough cleavage to make every guy in the room blush. Her hair was pulled back in a braid, she had bangs and two thick strands of hair in front of her ears that hung at her waist and curled slightly at the end. Over all she was drop dead gorgeous. By this time Koenma was drooling having seen her whole body.
"..." nobody said anything and Aaliyah could feel herself blush
"Ok people you can stop staring. Great I get stuck with perverts well at least they're cute" she mumbled the last part to herself.
"Oh who does your hair? I love it!" Botan squealed and ran over to her
"um, me." she smiled to Botan who nodded
"we'll have ta talk later" Botan suggested and got a nod in response
"Oh *cough* um ahem, Aaliyah, this is Yusuke, Kwuabara, Hiei, and Kurama. Yusuke, Kwuabara, Hiei, Kurama meet your new team mate, Aaliyah.".
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
"HER?!" Yusuke asked not believing what Koenma just said
"yes her. She could teach you a lot-" Koenma was cut off
"What's that suppose ta mean?! Huh?? And YES I AM your new 'team mate' gotta problem with it?"
"No but you don't have ta shout! And come to think about it, yes, I DO have a problem with it" he stepped forward
"That makes two of us, it's not like I wanna do this! I got stuck with it! I CAN'T spend 250 years in prison! I'd die not being able to hunt and kill, especially smart ass people like you!" she yelled. By this time they were just inches away from each other.
"And as much as I'd luv to chat with you all day, I'm late for dinner-" as if on cue Yusuke's stomach growled followed by Kwuabara's and soon everyone else. She sighed and turned
"Well I guess you guys could join me and however's at base for dinner-" she suggested
"Of course, we couldn't turn you down." Koenma cut her off and hopped down from his chair heading to the door.
"Well come on people let's go! someone cover for me!" Everyone sweat-dropped, but followed Koenma outside.
***------------------***
"Ok, how are we gonna do this?" Aaliyah asked looking around the group.
"I don't know but I'm NOT riding with Botan" Yusuke stated looking at Botan
"And what is that suppose ta mean?!" Botan yelled in his face.
"*sigh* is he always this rude?" Aaliyah asked
"yes I'm afraid so" Kurama answered with a smile
"hey! I'm right here ya know"
"hn, it's not like we CAN'T hear you, you ARE yelling" Aaliyah mumbled and got a few snickers in the proses.
"What was that?" he turned from Botan to Aaliyah
"I'm surprised we can still hear." She mumbled, looking him in the eye
"excuse me? Is there something you'd like to share with the group?" he asked glaring at her.
"Sure, I SAID, I'm surprised we can still hear. Could ya stop shouting?" she glared right
back, which was almost as good as one of Hiei's.
"*sigh* look I'll carry all who can't fly" Midnite sighed and started growing even bigger. He stopped when he was bigger then an adult horse and since he was husky he was about twice the size of his original transformation (he hasn't de-transformed).
"Wow..." Yusuke looked up at the large 'cat'
"Ok people let's get this over with" he had to bend down so they could get on. Aaliyah jumped on first then Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama and Kwuabara, him and Hiei did NOT want to sit next to each other.
"Does this thing have a seatbelt?" Yusuke asked jokingly with a grin
"excuse me? 'Thing', you know I don't have ta carry you or maybe I could drop you...100 feet is a long way down..."
"hey, hey let's TRY to get along. Ok, you guy's 'll have ta keep up to follow" Aaliyah turned
"No prob!" Botan said with a smile in her cheery voice, hopping on her floating oar.
"Lets go!" Midnite once again jumped into the sky and glided to their destination. Aaliyah smiled as she felt the familiar waves of excitement flow through her like the wind in her hair. She was generally happy when she was flying in the sky with Midnite, he'd always find a way to make her really happy.
Midnite touched down a few feet away from a large house. He bent down to let then get off.
"You can walk the rest of the way. *poof*" He then turned back into a kitten and hopped on Aaliyah's shoulder.
"Aw! He's cute!" Botan jumped off her oar and quickly made her way to Aaliyah soon followed by the cat lover himself Kwuabara, and started petting the kitten. She got a purr in response.
"Awwwwww"
"he's adorable"
"look at his paws"
"and those ears"
"you can hold him if you'd like" Aaliyah handed her the kitten and walked to the house, followed by the others. She opened the door and moved a side for them to enter.
"Wow, you have a nice place." Kurama said looking to one of the many plants the large house.
"Yeah, really nice" Kwuabara looked a bit in shock at the large house.
"Why thank you! But it's not really 'my' place" she smiled
"what do you mean?" Kurama asked and she noticed he was still looking at the green ivy growing across the floor and the side of the wall
"well, this is a base, there's tons of them, I'll explain later. Ya know, there's plenty of them around the place" she smiled
"huh?" Everyone but Kurama and Hiei, he doesn't really care, asked
"really?" Kurama asked his face seemed to brighten a bit
"Of course, there's a green house out back. I like plants and with the different demons dropping/checking in it's natural" she smiled showing her long, sharp teeth, and started walking down the hall to the kitchen.
(A/N: I know I didn't describe the house so it's like the house on the cartoon X-Men Evolution, the institute. I don't know why but I like that house.)
"You'll all probably find something to your liking" she walked into the kitchen and saw J.
"Don't bother I know you're here. And-" he was meet with six strangers. He was in a plain green shirt with a collar and gray pants. The six looked him over not missing the ears and tail and shimmering golden eyes.
"Ya know I wasn't gonna say anything" she pouted and walked to him
"is there extra ta eat?" she asked
"wait, your mission?" he asked
"*sight* fine to make a long story short I got myself in some trouble and am now a *sigh* spirit detective, for now" His eyes widened
"What?"
"Yeah it's true"
"and they are..." he asked trailing off and gesturing to the six guest, but already knowing the answer.
"*sigh* my team" she said, head bowed
"I'm sorry"
"no it's alrite. BUT you broke the number one rule.*sigh* Kami. Well it happened for a reason" he smiled his eyes sparkling.
"But DON'T mention this in your report for the mission"
"good idea but, aren't head quarters gonna fine out?"
"Nope. The only people who know 'bout this are in the room, right? Well then they won't. So are you going to introduce us?" he asked kindly
"Oh, um let me see if I remember" she smiled as he sweat dropped
"Ok I know this is Botan and Koenma-"
"what?"
"Yeah Koenma, and Kurama, who likes plants, you two will get along purr-fectly, this is Hiei and Kwuabara" she smiled finished
"um you missed someone" Kurama smiled knowing she meant to
"Oh I did? Gomen. Oh yeah this is the 'team leader' Yusuke" she laughed at the annoyed look on Yusuke's face.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you and you'll *pointing to Aaliyah* have ta cook something" his eye's matching his emotion, firm but kind.
DIIIIIING-DOOOONG
"I'll get it. You COULD start something to eat" she left without another word.
"Don't worry 'bout her, I'm surprised she's even talking. She hates being somewhere with people she doesn't know or vis versa she's usually shy and you, midnite, could be a bit nicer, your already spoiled" looking a way from the 'cat' who was being petted by Botan and Kwuabara, he grabbed some plates from the cabinets and walked over to the table, setting them down.
"Please take a set. Anything particular you'd like to eat?" he asked as they sat down
"Oh no sir, it doesn't matter" Botan spoke up for the guys, the last thing they needed was rudeness.
"Alrite then, hope you don't mind *takes breath* Sweet&Sour Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, Shrimp Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, Sweet&Sour Shrimp, Beef Chow Mein, Fried rice, white rice, Egg Rolls, and Crab Rangoon" he smiled and turned to the stove. They each looked at each other eyes wide, that was a lot of food.
-----------------------------------------
Aaliyah opened the door to find a purple skinned demon with horns on her head, light purple hair, and four boxes sitting around her.
"Hey, I've got a delivery for this bounty base, base blue, number 6636?" the demon asked
"yeah this is the place. What cha got?" Aaliyah smiled and asked
"It's from Bounty head quarters. This one has the spacial outfits" She pointed to a smaller box in front of her it was about 2 or 3 feet tall.
"And this one has the accessories, Ok? Sign here please." She held up a transparent clipboard and a pen after pointing to the other smaller box.
"Sure" Aaliyah signed and gave back the pen.
"Thank you! Ja ne!" She smiled and walked away.
'Spacial outfits? Oh well. someone must of wanted all of these to be sent here for them' Aaliyah thought bring the boxes in.
-----------------------------------------
Aaliyah walked in as J was turning to the stove with a confused look on her face.
"What is it?" he asked curiously
"um someone delivered a lot of clothes, who's do you think they are?" she asked walking to him.
"Hmmmm about how much clothes?" he asked
"4 boxes."
"Oh they're for the bounty convention/ get together." he put on some rice
"Oh yeah, were should I put them?"
"In the living room everyone passes through there eventually. We'll probably have ta leave a note or something"
"Cool, I'll email everyone here, be back" she left again.
"Bounty Convention?" Botan asked
"yes, I've heard of such a thing. I went once with my dad."
"What is it?" Yusuke asked
"it's when/where every, or mostly every, bounty hunter comes together. They sell and buy things, talk and tell wonderful stories. There's food, drinks and activities, music and dancing, and a little bounty hunting. It's kinda like a carnival." he turned back to the
stove. Aaliyah entered and washed her hands and started cooking. Soon the aroma of delicious food filled the air. As soon as it was done the two cooks placed the food on big plates and set them on the table.
"You'll have ta sever yourselves" Aaliyah smiled and looked for a place to sit. The only spots left were by Koenma or Yusuke(A/N: it's like this: Aaliyah, empty chair, Koenma, Botan, Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and Aaliyah, get it? Cuz I don't). She mentally sighed and
took the seat next to Yusuke. J didn't sit since he'd already eaten so he started on the dishes.
"I'll get 'em" Aaliyah offered
"that's ok" he continued with the dishes.
"Now THAT was good" Koenma grinned and sat back in the chair.
"Yes I agree how'd you make all that so quickly, and the taste, wow" Kurama asked
"Yes do tell" Botan and Kurama leaned forward.
"It's simple. I could teach you guys if you want."
"Yes"
"of course"
"Are you guys busy, lets say.... this Saturday?" she asked
"Nope-" Botan was cut short
"Actually, you have a case"
"What?! That soon" Aaliyah frowned
"but Koenma-" Botan started
"No but's."
"Well tell us about this case" Aaliyah leaned back in her chair and stared licking her figures/ claws (er paws maybe)in a animal like way, a gesture that was getting to Yusuke.
"Well-" Keonma started but was cut off
"what are you doing?" Yusuke asked eyes wide
"huh?"
"Stop it with the licking"
"and why should I? Does it BOTHER you?" she asked with a mischievous gleam in her eyes
"hey I was talking!"(koenma)
"Yes it does"(yusuke)
"why?"(aaliyah)
"Um hello people,"(koenma)
"it's, um, it's...gross!"(yusuke)
"riiiiiiight. Ya know, I AM a demon of the feline family, I don't like to be dirty, like you humans" (aaliyah)
"HEY, PEOPLE"(koenma)
"and what is that suppose ta mean?!" Yusuke stood
"SHUT UP!!!" Koenma yelled
"..."
"That's better. ANYWAYS as I was saying, You guys have to go under cover,"
"what?!" this time Aaliyah stood
"Yes under cover, to watch these guys just to make sure they're not planning anything, it will only be for a little while. These guys are TOP demons. If you think the Sant Beast were tough then you'd better quit now."
"The Sant Beast? did you fight then before they died?" Aaliyah asked
"Yes THEY killed them"
"Oh, so you're the human, and demon, team who killed those weaklings. I knew you sounded familiar. Finally someone killed them off."
"They were a pathetic excuse for a demon with their rep." Hiei added
"I agree" Aaliyah nodded
"Koenma, what are the names of these demons we're to look for?" Kurama asked
"I wish I had the file I could show you photo."
"I could look them up, but I need names" Aaliyah started collecting the dishes. Botan got up also and started helping with the little mess.
"Ok then, one of the demons happened to be Tarkan Hunuta the guy you killed"
"What?! But he was a human!" Aaliyah stopped what she was doing.
"Well it appears he wasn't"
"But he smelled and looked human"
"I'm thinking he can barrow peoples bodies OR he's a shape shifter..."
"I'll pull up his file. He's probably still alive if he can posses bodies" Aaliyah put the last dish in the dish washer and walked out of the kitchen followed by everyone else. 'What have I gotten myself into mother?' Aaliyah thought as she headed to the elevator by the stairs.
***------------------------------------------------***
CeCe: Yea! Another chapter done!!!! Gomen for being late it's my computer's fault, it hates me. Ok I was gonna lead this into the Dark Tournament but I'm not to sure. Though the tournament is the pur-fect place for (the) romance, it practically screams Come Fall In Love!

"what do you mean?" Kurama asked and she noticed he was still looking at the green ivy growing across the floor and the side of the wall
"well, this is a base, there's tons of them, I'll explain later. Ya know, there's plenty of them around the place" she smiled
"huh?" Everyone but Kurama and Hiei, he doesn't really care, asked
"really?" Kurama asked his face seemed to brighten a bit
"Of course, there's a green house out back. I like plants and with the different demons dropping/checking in it's natural" she smiled showing her long, sharp teeth, and started walking down the hall to the kitchen.
(A/N: I know I didn't describe the house so it's like the house on the cartoon X-Men Evolution, the institute. I don't know why but I like that house.)
"You'll all probably find something to your liking" she walked into the kitchen and saw J.
"Don't bother I know you're here. And-" he was meet with six strangers. He was in a plain green shirt with a collar and gray pants. The six looked him over not missing the ears and tail and shimmering golden eyes.
"Ya know I wasn't gonna say anything" she pouted and walked to him
"is there extra ta eat?" she asked
"wait, your mission?" he asked
"*sight* fine to make a long story short I got myself in some trouble and am now a *sigh* spirit detective, for now" His eyes widened
"What?"
"Yeah it's true"
"and they are..." he asked trailing off and gesturing to the six guest, but already knowing the answer.
"*sigh* my team" she said, head bowed
"I'm sorry"
"no it's alrite. BUT you broke the number one rule.*sigh* Kami. Well it happened for a reason" he smiled his eyes sparkling.
"But DON'T mention this in your report for the mission"
"good idea but, aren't head quarters gonna fine out?"
"Nope. The only people who know 'bout this are in the room, right? Well then they won't. So are you going to introduce us?" he asked kindly
"Oh, um let me see if I remember" she smiled as he sweat dropped
"Ok I know this is Botan and Koenma-"
"what?"
"Yeah Koenma, and Kurama, who likes plants, you two will get along purr-fectly, this is Hiei and Kwuabara" she smiled finished
"um you missed someone" Kurama smiled knowing she meant to
"Oh I did? Gomen. Oh yeah this is the 'team leader' Yusuke" she laughed at the annoyed look on Yusuke's face.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you and you'll *pointing to Aaliyah* have ta cook something" his eye's matching his emotion, firm but kind.
DIIIIIING-DOOOONG
"I'll get it. You COULD start something to eat" she left without another word.
"Don't worry 'bout her, I'm surprised she's even talking. She hates being somewhere with people she doesn't know or vis versa she's usually shy and you, midnite, could be a bit nicer, your already spoiled" looking a way from the 'cat' who was being petted by Botan and Kwuabara, he grabbed some plates from the cabinets and walked over to the table, setting them down.
"Please take a set. Anything particular you'd like to eat?" he asked as they sat down
"Oh no sir, it doesn't matter" Botan spoke up for the guys, the last thing they needed was rudeness.
"Alrite then, hope you don't mind *takes breath* Sweet&Sour Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, Shrimp Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, Sweet&Sour Shrimp, Beef Chow Mein, Fried rice, white rice, Egg Rolls, and Crab Rangoon" he smiled and turned to the stove. They each looked at each other eyes wide, that was a lot of food.
-----------------------------------------
Aaliyah opened the door to find a purple skinned demon with horns on her head, light purple hair, and four boxes sitting around her.
"Hey, I've got a delivery for this bounty base, base blue, number 6636?" the demon asked
"yeah this is the place. What cha got?" Aaliyah smiled and asked
"It's from Bounty head quarters. This one has the spacial outfits" She pointed to a smaller box in front of her it was about 2 or 3 feet tall.
"And this one has the accessories, Ok? Sign here please." She held up a transparent clipboard and a pen after pointing to the other smaller box.
"Sure" Aaliyah signed and gave back the pen.
"Thank you! Ja ne!" She smiled and walked away.
'Spacial outfits? Oh well. someone must of wanted all of these to be sent here for them' Aaliyah thought bring the boxes in.
-----------------------------------------
Aaliyah walked in as J was turning to the stove with a confused look on her face.
"What is it?" he asked curiously
"um someone delivered a lot of clothes, who's do you think they are?" she asked walking to him.
"Hmmmm about how much clothes?" he asked
"4 boxes."
"Oh they're for the bounty convention/ get together." he put on some rice
"Oh yeah, were should I put them?"
"In the living room everyone passes through there eventually. We'll probably have ta leave a note or something"
"Cool, I'll email everyone here, be back" she left again.
"Bounty Convention?" Botan asked
"yes, I've heard of such a thing. I went once with my dad."
"What is it?" Yusuke asked
"it's when/where every, or mostly every, bounty hunter comes together. They sell and buy things, talk and tell wonderful stories. There's food, drinks and activities, music and dancing, and a little bounty hunting. It's kinda like a carnival." he turned back to the
stove. Aaliyah entered and washed her hands and started cooking. Soon the aroma of delicious food filled the air. As soon as it was done the two cooks placed the food on big plates and set them on the table.
"You'll have ta sever yourselves" Aaliyah smiled and looked for a place to sit. The only spots left were by Koenma or Yusuke(A/N: it's like this: Aaliyah, empty chair, Koenma, Botan, Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and Aaliyah, get it? Cuz I don't). She mentally sighed and
took the seat next to Yusuke. J didn't sit since he'd already eaten so he started on the dishes.
"I'll get 'em" Aaliyah offered
"that's ok" he continued with the dishes.
"Now THAT was good" Koenma grinned and sat back in the chair.
"Yes I agree how'd you make all that so quickly, and the taste, wow" Kurama asked
"Yes do tell" Botan and Kurama leaned forward.
"It's simple. I could teach you guys if you want."
"Yes"
"of course"
"Are you guys busy, lets say.... this Saturday?" she asked
"Nope-" Botan was cut short
"Actually, you have a case"
"What?! That soon" Aaliyah frowned
"but Koenma-" Botan started
"No but's."
"Well tell us about this case" Aaliyah leaned back in her chair and stared licking her figures/ claws (er paws maybe)in a animal like way, a gesture that was getting to Yusuke.
"Well-" Keonma started but was cut off
"what are you doing?" Yusuke asked eyes wide
"huh?"
"Stop it with the licking"
"and why should I? Does it BOTHER you?" she asked with a mischievous gleam in her eyes
"hey I was talking!"(koenma)
"Yes it does"(yusuke)
"why?"(aaliyah)
"Um hello people,"(koenma)
"it's, um, it's...gross!"(yusuke)
"riiiiiiight. Ya know, I AM a demon of the feline family, I don't like to be dirty, like you humans" (aaliyah)
"HEY, PEOPLE"(koenma)
"and what is that suppose ta mean?!" Yusuke stood
"SHUT UP!!!" Koenma yelled
"..."
"That's better. ANYWAYS as I was saying, You guys have to go under cover,"
"what?!" this time Aaliyah stood
"Yes under cover, to watch these guys just to make sure they're not planning anything, it will only be for a little while. These guys are TOP demons. If you think the Sant Beast were tough then you'd better quit now."
"The Sant Beast? did you fight then before they died?" Aaliyah asked
"Yes THEY killed them"
"Oh, so you're the human, and demon, team who killed those weaklings. I knew you sounded familiar. Finally someone killed them off."
"They were a pathetic excuse for a demon with their rep." Hiei added
"I agree" Aaliyah nodded
"Koenma, what are the names of these demons we're to look for?" Kurama asked
"I wish I had the file I could show you photo."
"I could look them up, but I need names" Aaliyah started collecting the dishes. Botan got up also and started helping with the little mess.
"Ok then, one of the demons happened to be Tarkan Hunuta the guy you killed"
"What?! But he was a human!" Aaliyah stopped what she was doing.
"Well it appears he wasn't"
"But he smelled and looked human"
"I'm thinking he can barrow peoples bodies OR he's a shape shifter..."
"I'll pull up his file. He's probably still alive if he can posses bodies" Aaliyah put the last dish in the dish washer and walked out of the kitchen followed by everyone else. 'What have I gotten myself into mother?' Aaliyah thought as she headed to the elevator by the stairs.
